Tommy Talau

How did wee Tommy go last night ???
Mate, the entire Tigers team played like superstars last night. Cowboys weren't good, but the Tigers could do no wrong. Everything they tried worked. Mind you, it was the other centre, Starford To'a, who really caught the eye. Was all over Val Holmes and scored two tries with five line breaks and 15 (!) tackle busts off 14 runs. The winger they got from the Brumbies, Junior Tupou, was also excellent, as was their fullback from nowhere, Jahream Bula.
 
Looks solid tonight, defensively going ok, doesn't really go looking for the ball a lot.
Doesn't help that Brooks mainly goes to Papilii and Pap doesn't look to pass outside a lot when he gets it.
 
Guess that it may be a question of Tommy Talau being a better option then Brad Parker or an emerging Fletcher - Myers . and one can only hope that Koula can be retained on a longer term basis even allowing for the Union speculation . Anyway looks like the club has gone in this direction for whatever reason and that he can be a bit more consistent and match available player then recent Tigers acquisitions Alioia and to a lesser extent form wise Tuilagi
